Rude *********** staff

I asked the pharmacist what to use instead of deep heat and arnica gel for pain during pregnancy and she said to me "but you're not eating it" as if to say it's fine. Firstly, who speaks that way in a professional environment I asked you because you are supposed to be and expert in your field what kind of people do you hire? Incredibly rude and on top of that not knowledgable at all. She asked her colleague and was shocked to find out that I was right. I just bought a bottle of vicks and left. Is this place struggling financially or do you not care about customers?
